Jorge Rodríguez: OAS is an organization that is dedicated to assaulting the peoples who decide to be free


“The OAS is directly responsible for the coup d’etat in Bolivia that violently ended the government of Evo Morales and is also responsible for the attacks against Venezuela. It is an organization that supports any aggression against the peoples of the Americas who decide to be free”.
This was denounced on Tuesday by the sectoral vice president for Communication, Tourism and Culture, Jorge Rodríguez, during a press conference held at the Venezuelan embassy in Spain, as part of his participation in the United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP25) Madrid 2019.
In his statements, the senior official denied that the Organization of American States (OAS) is invited to be an observer in the Venezuelan parliament elections scheduled for 2020:
“Even the opposition agrees that a fully politicized body such as the OAS should not attend the elections”, he emphasized.
Regarding the progress of the National Dialogue Board in which participate representatives of the Government and the opposition, Rodríguez recalled that a preliminary commission was appointed for the renewal of the electoral authorities, were also approved agreements on audits of the electoral system , the electoral registry review and international observation.
“We propose for it to be as wide as possible, that the United Nations, the EU if hey want, Spain if they want. We are going to send an invitation to all the organizations and countries that, in good faith, want to observe the parliamentary elections”, he said.
“Let’s advance to establish electoral bases that allow all Venezuelans to reach parliamentary elections that, by the Constitution, must be called this next 2020, and that can be observed by the international community, that can be duly competitive (…) so that we all feel confident in the Venezuelan electoral system”, said the vice president.
